Acer Liquid - Development & Testing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Let's add support for the Acer Liquid!

Looks like the device comes with a broadcom-wifi-chipset - so, the
iwconfig-method might work to bring the wifi-interface into ad-hoc mode.

@mirox3m - comment #51: Good, it looks like that we are able to bring the
wifi-interface in adhoc-mode. This is the very first step.

You could do the following to verify that: 
1) start tether via command-line
2) /data/data/android.tether/bin/iwconfig eth0

Please make a screenshot and upload here.

What misses now? Netfilter-support in kernel! I've heard that it makes troubles
(system hangs) when enabling these features ... right? Thats a bit weird because
netfilter is a standard-feature in kernels. How knows a kernel-dev who has done 
such
experiments? If I remember correctly it was 'disc0'! Anybody knows how to 
contact him?

I'll have 4 days over Easter to try the apk and follow the work to date and 
give any 
feedback. I'd like this to work if we can. I've tried Tetherwifi and Barnacle 
Tether 
and neither of them work at all.

I've contacted disco in the meantime. I'm pretty busy at the moment (moving to 
a new
appartement) but I'm still on it.

There is now a new "leaked" 2.1 ROM. It adds multitouch and repairs voip 
issues. 
Probably there could be some changes related to WIFI tether.

I've talked to disco. It looks like that it's not possible to load the 
wifi-kernel 
module on 1.6 liquid-firmwares. This seems to work on the 2.1 leak but we need 
kernel-
sources to rebuild the kernel with netfilter-support ...

No, not really - sorry. Are the kernel-sources for 2.1 available?

unfortunately not for now :( we have only a leaked 2.1 BIN...

Just wondering if there is any activity on Liquid(E) support now that kernel 
source for Eclair has been out.  Comment 69 points to liquid specific tethering 
app which works great - but this one seems much more polished.  It would be 
great to be able to run this app!

I attempted to run this on LCR 1.8.0.1, and get FC.  Seems to be an issue with 
libNativeTask.so

@snootched: I think you don't use the latest experimental version of the app - 
available here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Since 2.0.5-pre4 we have a more generic-method included which should allow to 
bring more wifi-interfaces (on different phone-models) in adhoc-mode.

So please try the latest experimental version (currently 2.0.5-pre8). If this 
does not work I will try to add Liquid-support back again (which I've removed 
some weeks ago).

Thanks for the quick response.  I am using the latest experimental version and 
receive this error.  I've re-installed just to make sure.  On initial open of 
the app, I can see the "Close / Donate" dialog, but immediately a FC dialog 
goes on top of it.  I exit the app and relaunch.  From that point on - I 
receive the exception noted above.

Thanks for you help.

I installed the latest pre-release version and I also get "Sorry, but your 
kernel doesn't all the necessary features for running this appplication"

Interesting behavior to note. When I first installed it and ran it, I got a 
force close. 2nd time running it I immediately received to above warning. On 
the 3rd attempt the app loaded to the "start" button and had me a excited. When 
I pressed the Start button it FC. 

I'm on an Acer Liquid E running 2.1. I believe it's the official as it came 
with the handset from Rogers.
